You were ranting on and on about how people would do better if the govt
wasnt involved.
So here are some statistics that show those who dont let the govt get
involved and their reasoning behind such things.

And how many of those people are complaining? How many are saying "I don't
get my fair share"?

Yep--it's TJ alright. She doesn't use apostrophes in her contractions. Now,
at least
if she reincarnates, she'll have a little more typing to do to cover her
tracks.

It shows us that TJ doesn't know how to read the report she is looking at.
She is multiplying the percentages of CP's reporting the reasons they do not
have formal CS court orders by the number of CP's surveyed. The problem is
the numbers won't add up because she is ignoring the footnote that says the
percentages don't equal 100% because the respondents could list more than
one reason.

My take is the report shows that 5.9 million CP's have reasons for not
wanting the government to be involved in how they raise their children so
the government tries to determine how many of them exist and how much is
owed to inflate the government's role in collecting CS and inflate the
number of families they serve.

Again, I dont know what "report" you are looking at. These were pulled of a
website. Not directly from some report. I am not TJ.

She also states that daycare is not included in her "cost to raise a child"
where she stated before that it
was included. Apparently, she didn't like my prior response that the figures
are credible with
daycare included so she "took it out" this time.

Still, it shows that these parents choose *not* to have the government
involved in their family business. It doesn't prove anything about the
necessity for the system.
